Also, it’s been on for like ten years now right? That is a very long time for a reality show. Especially since it’s not like The Real World or The Real Housewives of (insert location) where you can change up the players.

Then, within the last couple of years, the Kardashians went from D-list cable reality stars to…

I watch Bravo and the Bachelorette and all the other trash TV because my other options are THE NEWS and no thank you.

There’s a whole kink scene dedicated to Kardashian heist robberies in my town, but your point is taken.
